I guess this is what "Your mileage may vary" was designed for :) In my experience the nav display is within a couple of miles, even on 250+ mile trips, unless I'm speeding a ton or hypermiling a ton (or e.g. towing).

I was wondering if Offroad would have helped raise the hitch a little, which could make a pretty big difference at the margins.

You don't fill your car with miles, and it doesn't consume miles. You're seeing two things: A dashboard meter that shows battery remaining under "typical" circumstances - more or less EPA test cycle. Think of this as your farmer's almanac, not your 3 day forecast. A trip meter that shows your...

I've never seen over 4.01 even when in constant regen for 15+ minutes. It seems to cap the display there (at least for me/my driving modes). The "true" efficiency should be ∞ mi/Wh

For most people, "adventure" is not rock crawling. That's an extreme niche activity that most people would have to travel a long way to try - I'd bet that 95% of Rivian's never crawl in any extreme condition, and 90% of those that do only try once or twice. It would be foolish for Rivian to...

All of this makes sense to me but damn do I wish I could have talked the wife into Compass Yellow ?

For what it's worth, I'm totally with you on this; the regressiveness of a use tax is my primary concern (especially as we're already in one of the most regressive tax regimes in the country). My general (idealistic) philosophy here is as stated in my prior post: Price in externalities as...

Yeah, this is what I did. Everything else can be behind a swipe menu. One of my favorite QOL changes in recent updates.

I've had this issue for the last month or so - alternating between "fast charging performance limited" and "fast charging disabled" (or both/neither). Lately it's mostly been "disabled" and appears nearly 100% of the time. So far I have about an 80% success rate actually charging at RANs in...

I think this repo is a community project, which is a great example of another audience hurt by the release notes being an image. Now somebody has to OCR or retype/reformat all that to update the community changelog, instead of just copying and pasting.

I think the meta point here is that there's no good text description of an image of pages of text besides... all the text. At which point you should just post the text, not the image. You're right that many screen readers can do OCR (and browsers increasingly have some of this support built in...

I know you're not defending it but it's worth zooming out - First, yes, it's true that blind or severely visually impaired people presumably should not be driving Rivians. But there are plenty of reasons they might be reading release notes - They might be regular passengers (e.g. family...

Even sighted users shouldn't be subjected to a JPG of pages of text ? But it's really disappointing to see them doing something so lazy and contrary to best practices for accessibility (and performance, and readability, and layout, and...). This is web 101 stuff.

This is one of the more heinous crimes against accessibility I've seen in a while.

My only complaint about these is they should really be restructured holistically - to eliminate gas taxes and EV fees and replace them with a mileage tax indexed to the weight of the vehicle. Couple that with carbon and particulate emission taxes on all energy. Externalities need to be priced...

Rivian has very deliberately never promised a kWh target, just a range target, on their various packs.

(They actually gave me another $5k in incentives so the Zero was “only” $15k, a steal at that price IMO!)

Pepper loves the Rivian, hammocks happily in the back seat (Orvis hammock with cheapo Amazon door protectors). She does however like to drool all over the rear screen - I got nervous so I put plugs in the USB ports so they don’t fill with drool ?
